Miami Glam Parking Garage Wedding at 1111 Lincoln Rd

October 5, 2020 | riley

Calling all non-traditional wedding lovers! You’re not going to want to miss this one. Claudia and Jordan’s glam parking garage wedding 1111 Lincoln Rd was the perfect showcase of relaxed elegance. With the help of Junebug member The Creative’s Loft, the pair turned a parking garage into one of the most glamorous spaces we’ve ever seen. 

With red, pink, and white florals mixed with tropical greenery–put together by Primrose Florals–and a bar overlooking all of downtown, this just goes to show you that you can turn a blank canvas into something incredible with the right vendor team

The Couple:

Claudia and Jordan

The Wedding:

1111 Lincoln Road, Miami, Florida

Laid-Back Wedding Day Vibes

We wanted to do something different. Neither one of us were huge fans of traditional weddings and—to be honest—we were considering not having one. When we decided we would it had to be unique and everything had to be done our own way. We wanted a party where people could do what they wanted when they wanted. If they wanted to dance, there’d be a dance floor. If they wanted to drink, there’d be multiple bars. When they wanted to eat, there’d be different food options the entire time. Chill and lounge? Couches, tables, and chairs available everywhere–but no ten-person round tables with assigned seats. We basically wanted a party that celebrated us getting married.

Personalizing The Ceremony

We had a very small private ceremony a few weeks before our wedding that included the traditional Jewish and legal requirements. Then we had Claudia’s brother officiate the ceremony, which added a very personal touch. He told the story about how we met and spoke about our relationship together. This personalized the ceremony and seemed to connect us with our guests more. We also wrote and read our vows to each other. This was one of the highlights of the night.

Why 1111 Lincoln Rd

We live in Miami Beach and a few blocks from our home is an amazing parking garage that doubles as an event space. We pretty much zeroed in on this as our venue because it was a beautiful structure, was close to home (you can actually see where we live from the garage), and was a completely open canvas to create whatever we wanted. The contrast between a concrete garage and a black-tie event was perfect for us.

Warm & Cozy Dallas Wedding at Brake & Clutch

October 4, 2020 | riley

Aubrie and David wanted their wedding to feel like home, so a warm and cozy Dallas wedding at Break & Clutch was the perfect choice! Their untraditional black, copper, and champagne color palette and unique geometric pampas grass backdrop matched the warehouse’s modern aesthetic beautifully. Planner Hunter Orcutt did a fantastic job of bringing the couple’s vision board to life.

While everything about this wedding is beautiful, our favorite part is the photos captured by one of our own Junebugs, Brooke Taelor. That’s right! Not only is she an incredible part of our team, but she’s also the insanely talented photographer who captured Aubrie and David’s love perfectly. 

The Couple:

Aubrie and David

The Wedding:

Brake & Clutch, Dallas, Texas

Why Brake & Clutch

We love the area of Deep Ellum in Dallas—it has so many bars/restaurants and the Brake & Clutch venue is so cool with the warehouse look. We like that the whole wedding had a “theme”–bridal brunch, hotel block, rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and wedding were all in Deep Ellum.

A Memorable Ceremony

The ceremony room had just such a homey/cozy vibe with warm lights, the rugs Hunter had brought in, and the fact that we were over capacity, so people were packed in. We’ll never forget the moment right after we kissed and our officiant announced us, and we turned to all of our people. We saw our parents, family, friends, coworkers–literally everyone that means so much to us. It was just such a perfect moment. David and I both agree it was surreal.

Lots Of Food Options

I love queso, so we had tacos/enchiladas and queso. The caterers had my own “bride bowl” waiting for me in my seat. We also had Philly cheesesteak sliders and Chinese food in takeout containers. They were a huge hit! Lastly–this was truly special –my grandparents started a steakhouse restaurant that has been very special to my family. My grandparents have passed but they were such an important part of my life, so we wanted to honor them at the wedding. The famous dessert at the steak house is a Tumbleweed–basically an adult milkshake–so we served little Tumbleweeds at the end of the night.

Whimsical Modern Carnegie Museum of Art Pittsburgh Wedding

October 3, 2020 | riley

What happens when a marketing professional plans a wedding? Utter perfection. Maria and Logan’s modern Carnegie Museum of Art Pittsburgh wedding was the perfect combination of modern yet whimsical, thanks to Maria’s marketing experience. With a guest list of over 200 people, the pair knew that they wanted their day to be creative and non-traditional, and they made it happen–without a planner! 

We love how The Farmer’s Daughters Flowers incorporated spray-painted flowers, and we can’t get over the couple’s chic cake by Tasty Bakery that looks as if it has been hand-painted. While we could gush about the details for days, we love how talented photographer Rachel Rowland summed it up: 

Rachel Rowland on the Couple’s Special Day

Maria’s marketing career drove her to approach the wedding no different from planning a cohesive, branded campaign. Everything from the save the dates to the thank you cards would take on the romantic, yet moody vibe and color palette. Victoria, of Oh Joyful Day, handpainted the majority of the day-of-goods, and the entire invitation suite was an original design.

Throughout 2019, spray-painted flowers popped up in weddings and high fashion. So, to add to the artistic inspiration, floral design diva and visionary Lauren Work–the owner of The Farmer’s Daughter Flowers–executed multiple installations and centerpieces filled with spray-painted baby’s breath and pampas grass, along with other dried and fresh flowers. This created an extremely unique and almost whimsical setting. It matched perfectly with the venue and decor from Oh Joyful Day and Vintage Alley Rentals. It was truly a romantic dream of an evening.

The Couple:

Maria and Logan

The Wedding:

Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, PA

The Versatile Karen Willis Holmes Gown

I only went to two stores and after I walked into the second boutique, I knew I wasn’t going anywhere else. Blanc de Blanc is owned by the nicest young woman named Angelea. I probably scheduled ten appointments before we found THE dress. Even then, since we had an 18-month engagement, I continued to wait until the last minute. I think I tried on 20 different dresses before I found the one. When I went back to try it on for the second time, I could barely contain my tears. Karen Willis Holmes executes some of the most beautiful beading I have ever seen. I still have not seen a more perfect dress for me. The skirt attachment was fabulous for changing my look from the ceremony to the reception, and while I was not a fan of veils when I started shopping, I could not take it off once I put it on.

A Unique & Memorable First Look 

Rachel planned such a unique experience as we stood back-to-back among ancient architecture–strangers staring and crying. It felt like something out of a movie. I loved my look head to toe, but I also couldn’t wait to see Logan’s reaction because I kept his preferences in mind when I planned it. We both felt so much lighter after seeing each other for the first time that day.

Why a Carnegie Museum of Art Pittsburgh Wedding

We were set on finding a unique venue to hold our 200+ guest list from the moment we got engaged. We were not interested in a typical ballroom setting. Something romantic, whimsical, and absolutely breathtaking was what we were looking for–well, more so me than “we.” Logan was happy as long as I was happy. The spray-painted flowers that Victoria (of Oh Joyful) and I came up with really pushed me to set the artistic tone throughout the whole venue. And since it took place at the Carnegie Museum of Art, it all fell into place perfectly.

An Unforgettable Recession Photo

Rachel stopped us at the end of the aisle during the recession out and yelled, “Kiss!” When Rachel shouts an order, you know it’s for a good pic. That photo is definitely one of our favorites.
